The successful candidate will ideally be a highly motivated self-starter who can work independently to complete assigned tasks and collaborate with other members to achieve project milestones. It is expected that the candidate will contribute during all phases of firmware development for high speed SERDES - from architecture development to implementation, verification, testing and customer deployment.\nResponsibilities\nWork closely with PHY digital and mixed signal architects to figure out the details of FW functions and sequences. Contribute during firmware architecture development and implementation of the defined firmware features.\nHelp to build system level prototype control software to develop/validate adaptation, equalization, and control algorithms for high speed SERDES.\nImplement assigned FW features and work closely with verification[simulation] and validation team to ensure the functionality and robustness of the implemented features. \nSupport FuSa compliant firmware development. Work closely with verification and validation team to develop and execute test plans for FuSa compliant firmware.\nSupport of Validation team during electrical and system characterization during post-silicon testing. Identify any FW and HW related functionality and performance issues and implement any necessary FW improvements to address these issues.\nSupport Product Engineering, System Validation and Design team to debug IP issues during customer deployment of the IP and provide hot fixes.\nCreate and maintain comprehensive documentation related to firmware design, development, bug fixes and compliance testing. \nDesired Skills\nB.Tech with 6yrs or M.Tech with 4 yrs in Electrical/Electronics Engineering\nSolid programming knowledge in C/C++ and Python \nStrong problem-solving and communication skills \nUnderstanding of wireline communication principles and digital signal processing techniques is a plus\nKnowledge in mixed signal circuit design is a plus\nExperience with silicon validation process and debug is a plus\nExperience with digital verification environment and tools is a plus\nUnderstanding of FuSa compliance is a plus\nWe’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2502,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["EDA Software","Semiconductor IP & Chip Design Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T11:04:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":70,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.695,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":57,"reasons":["conf:5","stale_co","wave","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cadence-design-systems-design-engineer-ii-8","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cadence-design-systems-design-engineer-ii-8.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T01:45:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2428,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4351},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4351"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcadence-design-systems-design-engineer-ii-8"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcadence-design-systems-design-engineer-ii-8"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcadence-design-systems-design-engineer-ii-8"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cadence-design-systems-design-engineer-ii-8\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcadence-design-systems-design-engineer-ii-8"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3451004}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cadence.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3451004},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
